Noise is one of the biggest complaints we hear about in the building industry. Use Forna cork underlay to cut down on noise and sound transmissions in your homes.

Alone, the 12mm cork underlayment offers 22 dB acoustic insulation.

To be clear,

Regular drywall (5/8”) will add roughly 5 dB of insulation.

Acoustic Insulation (5/8”) will add about 18bD of insulation

Our cork has a rating of 220kg/m3 which is the highest in the business.

In cold areas, most of our clients like to work with the 6mm cork underlay. This, plus Forna floating cork flooring, can raise the temperature in the basement by as much as 7 Celsius (13 fahrenheit) without turning up the heat. In fact, many people find they turn down the heat once cork floating flooring with 6mm cork underlayment has been installed.
All of our clients who have worked with the Forna 6mm underlayment have been EXTREMELY pleased with the cushion, the thermal insulation and the acoustic insulation (the basement gets VERY quiet once cork is installed).

We carry cork underlay with the highest density rating possible: 200-220kg/cubic meter, which is the highest in the business. Most business carry 180 kg/cubic meter
